Carona, The soft blocks has this functionality of constant area stretch. You can create a new cellview with only a prBoundary, you set the CellType of the cellview to blockBlackBox, you save it. Then...

Ah, thanks Alex. Shows what happens when I don't read the title of the request and focussed too much on the text where it was talking about stretching polygons and rectangles. I missed the...

Dear Andrew, Thanks a lot. It is indeed the case. One more thing, for plotting Jee, Jc it asks for Integration of Frequency Limit. I am little bit confused of what range should be given as Jee and Jc...

Hi Andrew, Thanks for replying. I removed all the relays,except one, and it doesn't converge. However, if I put back the other 2, it converges. :-| But, when using all the 3 sources, the pulse signal...

Looks like you are using shapes for the tracking, might be better to use clines but in any case this is an issue because the via has a different netname to the shape. In 17.2 latest hotfix hover ver...

Hi, Edit the symbol to change the pin type to 'Passive'. This makes the pin name no longer a signal alias.

Hi Andrew, I swapped vt1 and vt2, as you said, re-named en_pulse, en_sine, en_step back to "stimuli" and hanged a 10k resistor from "stimuli" to ground. And .. it is working now :-) Thank you very much...

You could define two shape, add an arc on the edge and place them next to each other. You can even have them overlap if the arcs are a little tricky to add to the edge. If you don't want to play with...

I tried creation on the copper layer and then Z-copy to Place Bound, but it threw away the void. Not sure if I'm doing it incorrectly. Abutting shapes with arcs worked, so I guess that's the winner. I...
